Disney California Adventure

Disney Animation: Art of Animation

February 2001 - 2005

This small theater showed films of interest to students of Disney animation, animation history, and Walt Disney.

At the time this article was originally written, The Greatest Disney Story Ever Told was being shown in the theater ten times daily. This short film -- written, produced, directed, edited, starring, and occasionally projected by Michael Eisner -- was a documentary detailing Michael Eisner's rise from a humble birth in a New Jersey stable to current position as the most powerful, benevolent, and revered force ever to grace the American entertainment industry.

When Eisner left the Walt Disney Company, this film was retired so fast it actually left skid marks on the carpet.
